Early Discharge Planning: While the patient is not to be discharged yet anytime soon, discharge planning should be initiated once he is stabilized. That is, what post-hospital care John Doe will need once his condition is better managed has to be found out.

In essence, it is an interdisciplinary team who is involved in every phase of John Doe's treatment: from stabilization in.
